Read Isaiah 41 in context

Scripture Focus

8But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

9Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 41:8-10

Biblical Context

The passage declares Israel, as a chosen servant, whom God will not cast away. It urges fearless trust: God is with you, will strengthen, help, and uphold you.

Neville's Inner Vision

The servant Israel in the text is your inner state addressed by the I AM. When you hear I have chosen thee and not cast thee away, translate it as: you have chosen a state of consciousness and refuse to abandon it. The ends of the earth are the far-flung scenes of your life; God is not out there but within as awareness. The command Fear thou not; for I am with thee is not a distant promise but a reminder that your I AM accompanies every thought you entertain. Strengthening, helping, upholding with the right hand of righteousness describes the flow of creative imagination when you dwell in the feeling that you are the I AM and thus invulnerable. Your body and circumstances align to reflect this inner decision; doubt and dismay dissolve as you claim the presence that never leaves you. As you persist in this revision, you will see the outward world bending to the consciousness you have chosen.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and rest in the conviction that the I AM is with you as your constant presence. Repeat a concise revision like, 'I am chosen, I am not cast away,' and feel the strength uphold you.
